Whether it's following a host up and down the Glaciers of Alaska or diving to the depths to comment on the wildlife of the Kelp bed you need a solid sound mixer that has been there before.

I've experience in recording sound underwater with the AGA mask, Howler Monkeys in Central America with the Holophone and Humpback Whales with hydrophones.

Added to that many Expedition Documentaries as the Location Sound Mixer, you can be sure you are getting the best sound possible.

I started with my first sound recording and soundscape composition studies and experiments at the end of the nineties.

From 2002 through 2008, I studied Media Art in Leipzig, Germany and turned more and more to wildlife sound recording as my prior discipline. As a freelance ornithologist and sound recordist, biological and ethological issues as well as the communication of acquired knowledge - via publications, presentations, lectures, documentaries, radio programs - constitute the fundamental parts of my work.

Due to extensive travelling to rather remote places and more than 60 trips on research ships, I used to work and live under difficult circumstances.

My private collection contains approximately 12,000 digital sound recordings from different animals as well as acoustic phenomena and sounds from natural and urban habitats.

I have worked on documentaries, award-winning short films, low budget features, TV series, branded content and live events.

So far, I have been recording all over the UK, some parts of Europe and USA.

I have recorded many animals, including wild birds, cows, horses, other farm animals, hounds, house pets and city animals.

I am used to working long hours, being away for long periods of time and, when necessary, I am more than happy to slam it.

I hold a full UK driving license and a valid Certificate of basic disclosure.

I speak Italian as well as English.

Being a documentary cameraman for years I've specialised mainly in National History.

Next to this I have developed good experience as a Camera Assistant and Sound Recordist.

From the start of my first days in Film making I’ve gained much experience from pre- to post-production. I’m best described as a young cameraman with good knowledge of post production workflows and decent knowledge of the natural world.

Work at an equipment rental company and post production facility brought me good knowledge of both. Equipment-wise this has brought me good experience all sorts of cameras like the Red One, Alexa and DSLR. With the experience in such cameras, I have worked a lot as digital Clapper-loader on Dutch feature films an commercials.

I'd love to work story driven. I believe thats the only way. I love to work in teams but I’m very capable of working on my own as well. I’m self driven, fast in troubleshooting and always in search of new adventures!

Chris Watson is a very experienced sound recordist specialising in wildlife - He has worked closely with two of the most high-profile natural history presenters in the business, David Attenborough and Bill Oddie. He is Oddie's favourite sound man and the TV veteran says of Watson: "I don't know anyone who is so intense yet so splendidly frivolous."

Chris became a sound recordist in 1981 when he joined Tyne Tees Television and is now widely regarded as one of the most creative sound artists in the business. His recent credits include the hugely popular Springwatch and Autumnwatch,The One Show, Bang Goes The Theory (Can you hear a snail?) and he received the Wildlife Film Asia Award for the BBC's Galapagos: Born of Fire. He also creates for the radio, with credits including Soundscape: The Sea Swallow, Watersong and The Estuary, all for BBC Radio 4, and he recently won the BPG 2012 "Radio Personality of the Year" Award for The Wire.

He also finds time to be a Wildeye tutor, runs courses in wildlife sound recording and post production at the BBC Natural History Unit and lectures internationally on location sound and sound design.

You can purchase his fantastic CDs through our shop.
